Before that rooster's crowing

She's kitchen-table sitting

Underlining the gospel

And black-coffee sipping

When that sun gets to sinking

The whole house is resting

And she's thanking god

For those fast-asleep blessings.

Might look like she ain't doing much

But she's moving mountains because.

That's the power

The power of two folded hands

Bowed head, bended knees

When she whispers dear jesus

Heaven can hear it

And that devil gets back to hell running

That's the power

The power of a praying woman

Oh, a praying woman.

She puts on a t-shirt

Red lipstick, blue jeans

But she's wearing armor

That nobody sees

Every word she sent up

Came answered back down

And I'm living proof

'cause this lost girl got found.

That's the power

The power of two folded hands

Bowed head, bended knees

When she whispers dear jesus

Heaven can hear it

And that devil gets back to hell running

That's the power

The power of a praying woman.

When a storm gets to brewing

And the war is a raging

Only one way through it

You keep on praying

Find truth in the trouble

Rise up from the rubble

When push comes to shoving

You keep on praying, woman

Praying woman.

That's the power

The power of two folded hands

Bowed head, bended knees

When she whispers dear jesus

Heaven can hear it

And that devil gets back to hell running

That's the power

The power of a praying woman

Of a praying woman

Of a praying woman

Oh, the power

Oh, the power of a praying woman.
